95 Miata Rat Rod project
Need someone younger than me to finish my Rat Rod project.
Complete mechanical and electrical components from a 95 Miata.
This is a running, driving project with 2"x3"x1/8" wall tubular frame rails connecting stock front and rear Miata suspension. It is so stock that all the components can be unbolted and put back in a Miata body if desired.
There is a start of a body which consists of the floorpan, firewall, steering column mount, etc. which can be unbolted from the frame easily and modified as desired or start from scratch.
Use your imagination, add your own body or make a body from scratch - a Track T type body style or maybe a downsized truck body and bed or make a boattail speedster body. Pictures at the end are some cars I found as potential ideas. The T type body pictured is definitely built from a Miata.
Wheel base was lengthened 13" by locating the front axle forward of it's original location.
Good running engine, no check engine errors. Doesn't smoke, leak or make funny noises. 5 speed transmission shifts good.
Good brakes. Good factory 15" wheels and tires. Instruments all work.
Factory wiring harness has unnecessary things deleted, like air bag circuitry etc. Wiring for lights still in place.
Otherwise all wiring is stock and works correctly.
Some spare parts including taillights, steering wheel air bag.
Custom exhaust.
The car is really light and quick after loosing about 1000 lbs.
This car was garage kept most of it's life.
Great open wheel fun and 30 mpg.
Clear open Alabama title.
Please call 205-422-8967 for questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $250 deposit is required within 24 hours. If you don't want the car when you come to
pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my ad expense.

2014 Mazda6 i Sport
Fri, 01 Feb 2013In an automotive landscape dominated by platform sharing, technology exchange and any number of other cross-fertilization/cost-saving/amortization exercises, it's actually pretty rare that we get to drive a new car that is as "all-new" as this, the 2014 Mazda6. With brand-spanking new Skyactiv architecture throughout - engine, transmission, body and chassis all included - this 6 represents a new era of flexible production and cutting edge running gear for the happily lithe car company.
Our own Jonathon Ramsey did a cracking job of running the Mazda6 through its First Drive paces a few months ago, and sufficiently impressed upon us just how good looking a car this is for the midsize sedan segment. Suffice it to say, now, then, that this is easily the most interesting (and quite possibly the most beautiful) midsize sedan in the segment today. However, as Mr. Ramsey reviewed a fully contented example of the 6 - one equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission - we took advantage of Mazda's North American launch event of the car to suss out the base Mazda6 i Sport, complete with its six-speed Skyactiv manual gearbox. This may not shock you, but the stripper's pretty good, too.
Driving Notes
2014 Mazda6 earns Popular Mechanics' 'Car of the Year'
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Ring one up for Mazda. The Japanese brand's midsize offering, the Mazda6, has been named Popular Mechanics' Car of the Year. The 6 received a comprehensive reworking for the 2014 model year that saw it adopt sleek, sexy sheet metal; a clean, logical interior; and powertrain technologies that allow it to net some of the best fuel economy available in a gas-powered, non-hybrid sedan.
Popular Mechanics praised the 6's Skyactiv 2.5-liter, 184-horsepower engine, as well as its agility and responsiveness during testing. It also remarked on the functional, but well designed cabin, and the degree of available technology.
"The Mazda6 really impressed us with how well it delivers so many things modern car owners want: great mileage, fun road-handling, upscale features and looks - and remarkable value," said Jim Meigs, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics.
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
